Speakers include the European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Síkela, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs Luděk Niedermayer, and Chair of the Senate Committee on EU Affairs of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Jan Schiller.
Europe Day commemorates the so-called Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950. At the time, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented a plan for closer cooperation between European states. The declaration is regarded as the foundation of European integration and initially led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community – the forerunner of today’s European Union.
